All F1 drivers are selfish in some ways, but it would seem some are more than others, thinking they are bigger than the team. Every great driver will need their teammate at some point. Verstappen must not have remembered what Perez did for him last year at Abu Dhabi, and this is how he repay that favour? 

With Verstappen unwilling to swap places back with Perez, now the door is open for Russell to take 2nd place in the WDC. He is 25 points behind Leclerc and Perez, and if Russell wins again and and get the fastest lap point, and Leclerc and Perez score no points, he would take 2nd and Perez would dropped to 4th. 

How is Horner's resolve to lead the team and reign in Verstappen? Will he settle for letting Verstappen dictate what Red Bull can and cannot do in the future? I mean he is their golden goose, but at the end of the day he is still just an employee and can be replaced. 

Fascinating about the issue and would love to be the fly on the wall behind closed doors in their team room.
